If your existing cabinet boxes are still in solid condition but the doors, drawer fronts, and visible surfaces look dated or worn, cabinet refacing is a cost-effective way to transform your kitchen without a full tear-out. At Fairfax Custom Cabinets, we replace all doors and drawer fronts with new custom-built pieces and apply matching veneer to the visible cabinet box surfaces. The result is a kitchen that looks completely new at a fraction of the cost and time of a full cabinet replacement. We are a Class A Virginia contractor, and every refacing project includes professional installation by our own crew at no additional charge.
Cabinet refacing is particularly popular with Fairfax County homeowners who have well-built cabinets from the 1990s and 2000s that are structurally sound but visually outdated. Many homes in Burke, Springfield, Centreville, and throughout the county have oak or cherry cabinets with raised panel doors that no longer match the homeowner's style. Refacing lets you switch to shaker, slab-front, or any other door profile while keeping the existing layout and cabinet boxes intact. New hardware, hinges, and soft-close upgrades are included as part of every refacing project.
A complete visual transformation of your kitchen using your existing cabinet boxes as the foundation.
Every door and drawer front is replaced with a new piece built to your specifications. Choose from shaker, raised panel, slab-front, or any other profile in the wood species and finish you want. The new doors are built with the same quality construction as our full custom cabinets, including solid wood or premium MDF construction and multi-step finishing.
All visible cabinet box surfaces, including face frames, end panels, and filler strips, are covered with matching veneer or laminate to create a seamless, uniform appearance. The veneer is applied with professional-grade adhesive and finished to match the new doors exactly. The result is a kitchen that looks like it has entirely new cabinets.
Every refacing project includes new hinges, drawer slides, and your choice of cabinet pulls or knobs. We upgrade all hardware to soft-close as standard, so doors and drawers close quietly and smoothly. This alone makes a significant difference in how your kitchen feels to use on a daily basis, especially in older homes with worn-out hinges and slides.
A streamlined process that delivers a brand-new kitchen look with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Cabinet refacing typically costs 40 to 60 percent less than a full custom cabinet replacement because the existing cabinet boxes stay in place. You avoid the cost of demolition, disposal, new cabinet boxes, and the extended timeline of a full build. The savings are real and substantial, and the visual result is virtually indistinguishable from brand-new cabinets.
Because there is no demolition or cabinet box construction involved, refacing projects are completed much faster than full replacements. Most kitchen refacing projects are finished in a matter of days rather than weeks. Your kitchen stays functional throughout most of the process, which means less disruption to your household's daily routine.
Refacing keeps your existing cabinet boxes out of the landfill and reduces construction waste significantly. There is no need to disconnect plumbing, remove countertops, or tear out walls. The process is cleaner, quieter, and less invasive than a full kitchen remodel. For Fairfax County homeowners who want a dramatic visual update without the hassle of a major construction project, refacing is the ideal solution.
